Kids (and adults) love series. I myself enjoy many series (although I tend to lose interest in kids' series after the first book or two). There's something very comforting about revisiting a favorite world or characters and knowing, generally, what to expect in a book. But sometimes, I feel like all I do in the juvenile fiction section is buy series! Replacements for damaged series, fill-in titles that I've forgotten, and endless sequels. So, I'm looking at the juvenile fiction I added that was NOT a series, just for fun and to prove that sometimes I do buy stand-alones!

I'm starting to hate series, since the fourth or fifth and onward to virtually unread. One big exception- The Iron Trial series by Black and Clare. The rest.. don't know that more than two people have ever picked up the tenth So You Want to be a Wizard book.
I know!! and then it's like, ok, number 3 and 7 checked out, so do I weed 8-10 or 4-10 or just leave the whole thing and what if I somehow only own 2, 7, and 9? It's so untidy!!
